I think I understand what you mean in terms of the specific policies in the US which encourage treating you home as an investment, but I don't think I would describe it like that. Post-communist countries have homeownership rates in the 85-95%, while the US is around 65%.

Very progressive of you to actually release the ranking giving the top few a couple of moments of relief before they realize how much they have to lose, as opposed to the traditional method of letting everyone be equally worried they might be the ones at the bottom.

I think the graduate student is the instructor of record for the course, she's not a TA, so that makes that harder.

lots of people seem to be unaware how adversarial the whole process has become. a friend was reported to the dean for not letting a student reschedule an exam to attend a big football game. almost every international TA has been accused of having an unintelligible accent whenever they fail someone.

Beit Jinn, the village in Syria? How can the IDF arrest people there? What argument is there that people don't have a right to defend themselves when a terrorist group illegally crosses over from Israel into Syria to kidnap people?
